Thank you to everyone who supported, engaged, and shared their thoughts throughout this journey! Your involvement made all the difference. 
To perform better than 70% of candidates to start within a span of 3 weeks(joined the very race late) means a lot. This couldn’t have been possible without your love n support
Not to forget mentioning: I had no banners or flyers hence supporting Sustainability

Roll-over votes
This is interesting phenomenon with Preferential voting, in Bemin Ward for example, following 2 candidates have following 1st vote:
| SINGH, Preet | 2412 | 23.20% |
| LADBROOKE, Nick | 1417 | 13.63% |
Results after distribution of preferences(After the votes role-over)
| Candidate | Votes after distribution | Percentage |
| SINGH, Preet | 5851 | 56.29% |
| LADBROOKE, Nick | 4544 | 43.71% |
It will be interesting to know how many voted me as their 2nd preferences, 3rd preference likewise, as in Quandong ward, there were no votes rolled-over as candidate won with absolute majority.

More Stats:
I managed to get details 1st , 2nd & other preferences from VEC (Exclusive)
Interesting to know I have got 2nd highest 2nd preferences. Now, (sorry to say) many don’t know who Monica is, as there wasn’t any information about her online or offline. In which case, I have got the maximum 2nd preference votes as a legitimate candidate. That’s something to Boast about 😎!
